ACTS committee members are involved in establishing and running the Chartered Teacher Glow group. Glow is Scotland’s national education intranet and has been signed-up to by all 32 local authorities. This means that all teachers should have access to this online portal shortly; indeed many already have, with teachers around the country making use of the various embedded resources and communication tools.
One such tool, which the Chartered Teacher Glow group will attempt to make full use of, is Glow Meet. This is a web conferencing tool which can connect eductors from around the country live for a set time, only requiring that they have a Glow login, access to the web, and computer speakers (with webcam and mic optional). Below is a list of the Glow Meet sessions which are open to all members of the group (to join the CT Glow group click here):
The first session takes place on Thursday, 29th October from 7.30pm to 8.15pm. Details are below:
